UNIX is for the idealist, love-children of the '60s and '70's that believe an operating system has to be "open" and "freely accessible" to be of any value. These are the same types that believe in ESPERANTO, the metric-system and uni-sex bathrooms. DNoll, you seem to be a self proclaimed expert on DB's. But, this statement makes me think that you aren't very in tune with the current world. While NT platform DB engines have been widely deployed in non-critical apps. The VAST majority of transaction processing related DB applications that are client/server based are UNIX and are likely to remain UNIX until the day comes that NT is really a full fledge operating system.
